The sculpture commemorates the surf lifesavers who have died while performing rescues and those who have died while patrolling, competing or participating in other surf lifesaving activities

The six metre sculpture is a depiction of the line on a surf lifesaver’s reel, whose continuous length forms the shape of two waves in one. The prominent site of the sculpture at Hunter Park, Bondi is a fitting memorial to the eleven people who lost their lives undertaking rescues, and a number of others who have died during their patrols, while training or competing.
